Father, Like Son AK

[Intro]
Look

[Verse 1]
I cherish how far we've come, sometime my thoughts in the past
Apartment 1719, me, Todd, my mom, it ain't past five yet
So pops is working, got his foot on the gas
Tryna get us up out of there, give us new views on new paths
Now at the time, uh, I was only like five
But flashbacks be way too vivid, they ingrained in my mind
Watching [?] Mom and Dad watching me from outside
Through the back door on the deck where they spent lots of they time
Cigarettes would fill they chest with plenty more than just smoke
Use it to cope with the stress that come when you start losing hope
I knew that shit was bad for 'em, but again I was five
Yeah, ignorance is bliss but now I see the reason behind
The deeper meanings of everything, all the reasons they did
Anything they ever did like having kids while they kids
Early twenties, they was hustling, can't imagine the pressure
That my father must have felt but never felt he was never the type
To hear a word no and say, "Aight, like, whatever"
If he saw it in his mind, best believe he gon' get a
Little piece for himself, bring the family some too
And everybody knew that that's exactly what he's gon' do
And then he did it
